Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the role of a specific microorganism in canine infertility, analyzing 114 cases of abortion, stillbirth, and neonatal mortality in dogs from Central Italy, but findings were mixed and only a small percentage tested positive.
- - Out of the cases studied, 6.14% showed a positive result for the microorganism's DNA, with some cases also identifying other pathogens known to cause infertility and neonatal issues.
- - The presence of the microorganism in the female reproductive tract suggests it may be a normal part of the genital microflora, rather than a direct cause of abortion or neonatal death in most cases.
Wildlife can harbour Shiga toxin-producing (STEC). In the present study, STEC in faecal samples from red deer ( = 106) and roe deer ( = 95) were characterised. All isolates were non-O157 strains.
